Dental Implants and Sinus Lifts - Austin, TX
Enhance Your Jawbone with Expert Sinus Lift Procedures
What Is a Sinus Lift?
Above your upper teeth lies the maxillary sinus, separated by a thin layer of bone. Tooth loss or extraction in this area, or proximity of the sinus to the upper jaw, can leave insufficient bone for dental implants, especially if the sinus is enlarged. A sinus lift, a complex bone grafting procedure, is often necessary to create a stable environment for new teeth.
This procedure requires the expertise of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who specializes in handling delicate sinus membranes. Our doctors, with extensive training in facial anatomy and bone grafting, can restore bone height and density even in cases of significant bone loss from factors like tooth loss or periodontal disease. For a sinus lift in Austin, TX, trust our experienced team at Advanced Dental Implant Center for comprehensive care and peace of mind throughout your treatment.
